  • I was in a similar situation, but as the boyfriend at the time

    I’d driven 1.5hr away to see my then girlfriend at college. We went out for groceries and were just pulling into her campus, making a left on a yellow when a cyclist went straight on a yellow. She flipped over the hood of my car and broke her collarbone.

    I’d almost come to a complete stop when the actual collision happened but was still on the hook for the fines and license points for failing to yield.

    The girl I hit didn’t press charges or anything. And as far as I’m aware she’s doing ok.

    Despite the trauma, I kept driving out of necessity, I had to get 80+ miles home somehow and I definitely wasn’t going to Uber from there.

    Now we got married, and we both have long commutes for our jobs (in opposite directions unfortunately, we just moved to a more central spot for it) and our jobs require travel between multiple locations throughout the day.

    Quitting driving would’ve kept us from job opportunities that allow us to have the lifestyle we live today.

    I don’t think you’re overreacting, but imo you shouldn’t let something like that define your adult life. Accidents happen, and this was probably the best-cass scenario in your case.

    A path and a road are similar, yes. However, an impasse is something that is not passable, which is why the original commenter was confused.

    Also, the word impasse is more frequently used as a metaphor than its literal definition. Something like “The arguing couple was at an impasse, neither budging in their position.”


  • In addition to what the other players have said, you can also do the “Beneath Cursed Sands” speedrun worlds trick to practice in Mor Ul Rek.

    To do this, log into a Speedrun world, then start the Beneath Cursed Sands speedrun.

    Use a minigame teleport to get to the Fight Pits, then walk past the fight caves entrance to the fire gate. You should have a fire cape in your inventory to get past the gate.

    From there continue to the far end of the cave and talk to the guy sitting on a large throne. After talking a bit he’ll offer to have you do a combat test. The first one is against a single Jad.

    On your way there, there’s a bank chest where you can grab an inventory of gear for the fight including a rune crossbow, food, and potions. Likely a bit under what you’ll be using for the real fight, but if you can do it with the crossbow, you’ll have an easy time with a blowpipe.

    Good luck!!
